in a book entitled Ten Dollars
Enough" Catherine Owens undertakes
to show that family may live we'll
and vet limit the expenditures to ten
dollars a week. This may be true in
China or Japan, but not in the County

About the most cruel thing that
has been reported from Connecticut
lately was the conduct of three citi-
zens of Norwich. who were on Mantle
Bay recently in search of ducks. A
gale was blowing, and bevy of quail
which had evidently been blown OF
shore, alighted on the duck shooters
boat, too weary to fly any farther.
The shooters deliberately shot ten of
the tired little fellows. and the few that
escaped went wearily winging their
way out over the bay, and doubtless
were drowned.-N n Herald
"A New York druggist entered a
restaurant and ordered beefsteak.
The meat was so tough, however, that
he asked the waiter to give him ten
der steak. The waiter gave him no
satisfaction and, after waiting for some
time, O. Brien drew from his pocket a.
bright revolver, eighteen inches long,
and, fourishing it, demanded that be
be given an eatable steak. Persons
experienced in restaurant edibles, who
will naturally sympathize with him,
will be surprised to know that he was
arrested for thus endeavoring to en-
force his rights.-N =. Telegram.
"A newly married couple from the
interior of Nevada. who had evidently
never before ventured upon . railroad
train. took the cars to go upon their
wedding trip. When the conductor
came around to collect the tickets the
bridegroom was so frustrated by the
novelty of the situation that he handed
out his marriage certificate. The con-
ductor looked at it epprovingly and
handed it back with the remark that it
was highly useful document in it its
| place, and one he had often contem-
| plated securing for himself, but that its
| possession did not entitle the holder to
free passage over that railroad. -Den-
